The Structure of Cyber ​​Knowledge: Chaos Theory and Cyber ​​Knowledge

Determining the structure of knowledge is one of the important issues of contemporary epistemology. Various views have been raised on this issue that are still being discussed and debated today. Regarding cyber knowledge, the issue of what structure this knowledge has is also raised. In this article, general views on the structure of knowledge are first expressed in general, and then the author criticizes the application of these views to cyber knowledge. Foundationalism, coherenceism, and holism do not show the structure of this type of knowledge. The author then introduces the structure of cyber knowledge as chaotic, considering chaos theory and its epistemological consequences. According to this view, cyber knowledge does not appear to have a regular structure and is a chaotic and indeterminate space. In cyberspace, not only does information replace knowledge, but traditional structures of knowledge also collapse. A user's information in cyberspace forms a changing system that is apparently dominated by a kind of disorder. The change in this system is apparently unpredictable. We are faced with such belief systems in cyberspace. The factors that play a role in changing these beliefs are numerous and to some extent undetermined.
